A geneticist grows 15 pea plants for each experiment. Assume that he has carried out an infinite number of experiments and measu

red the mean height of the plants each time. He finds that the population mean of the plant heights is 6.5 feet with a standard deviation of 0.5 feet. In what interval will 95% of the sample means occur?
the options are
a. 6.47 & 6.53 feet
b. 6.37 & 6.63 feet
c. 6.35 & 6.65 feet

With beginner statistics, you have learned about the 68-95-99.7 rule. As the picture shows, the standard deviation shows how the height of the plants would vary from the population mean.


You see as the heights move one standard deviation away from the right and left of the peak, 68% of plants sampled would have the height between 6 to 7 feet.


Now for one more step, to include 95% of samples you would add two standard deviations away. Therefore you would add 1 feet higher and lower to the population mean.


=95% of the samples would have the height between 5.5 feet to 7.5 feet. 


Hope that helped! I love statistics so if you'd like me to go into more detail over the 68-95-99.7 rule

Answer:

D. 6.24 & 6.76

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval for 95% of the sample means is given by,  µ ± \frac{σ}{\sqrt{n} } where µ is the population mean, σ is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

A circle with radius of \greenD{5\,\text{cm}}5cmstart color #1fab54, 5, start text, c, m, end text, end color #1fab54 sits insid
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure below.

The radius of the circle is, <em>r</em> = 5 cm.

The sides of the rectangle are:

<em>l</em> = 11 cm

<em>b</em> = 11 cm.

Compute the area of the shaded region as follows:

Area of the shaded region = Area of rectangle - Area of circle

                                            =[l\times b]-[\pi r^{2}]\\\\=[11\times 11]-[3.14\times 5\times 5]\\\\=121-78.50\\\\=42.50

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

Answer:

Associative.

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition and multiplication, it does not matter which two numbers you put together first. On the left aide 6 is associated with 3. On the right side 3 is grouped with 7.  It doesn't matter where 3 goes. You still get the same answer.

(6 + 3) + 7 = 6 + (3 + 7)

   9    +  7   =  6  + 10

        16  =  16

-5(x - 1) greater than -40
sergey [27]

Answer:

x < 9  

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing this entirely with symbols, we get:

-5(x - 1) > -40

We must solve for x.  

Carrying out the multiplication, we get:

-5x + 5 > -40, or

-5x > -45

Dividing both sides by -5 isolates x:

x < 9  

Note that when working with an inequality such as this one, dividing both sides by a negative number requires changing the direction of the inequality symbol.
